Pendleton Manor

68 Good Samaritan Drive, Franklin, WV 26807
Overview of Pendleton Manor

Pendleton Manor provides nursing home, skilled nursing, home care, and independent living in Franklin, WV. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while home care and home health bring services to a person’s home. Independent living provides private living without daily care, so this range of services suits a resident whose needs could change over time.

The community has 91 beds, with total nurse staffing of 4 hours and 56 minutes per resident per day. That figure represents the daily nursing time assigned to each resident. Rehabilitation and outpatient services are also available, allowing people to receive recovery or treatment services without a residential stay.

Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted. Medicaid can help families whose savings may not cover a long stay, while Medicare covers short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence. Private pay means paying directly for care.

A Walk Score of 38 places the area in a car-dependent setting, where most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would need transportation for routine trips. Randall Kropp serves as the administrator.
